Summary: ACCU member Clive Swigart speaks at a multi-discipline conference in Canada. ConFoo's Anna Filina provides the following information on the conference's history and importance.
Body:
The Montreal-based PHP conference ran successfully by the local community for seven years. After that, the team decided to include other technologies to transform it into a polyglot conference called ConFoo. Since 2016, a second Vancouver event was created. The mission was simple: increase the quality of web applications and the productivity of the developers who write it. ConFoo achieves that by inviting some of the top industry experts from around the globe to share their real-world experience.
Having an international presence is important, because people in close proximity end up thinking alike. When I travel to conferences around the world, I discover that people have different priorities and mindsets that I did not see in two decades of writing software in my own country. Developers understand this, which is why we get attendees from as far as Poland and New Zealand.
Our sponsors help us greatly with the promotion of ConFoo abroad, which is why we get such a diverse audience and speaker lineup. For example, ACCU gets the word out to software developers in the UK, the rest of Europe and beyond. Because ConFoo is non-profit, such support enables us to spend more money and effort on creating a better experience at the event.
Every programmer should be excited to attend ConFoo. With 100 presentations in Vancouver and more than 150 in Montreal, it is one of the largest events of its kind. This conference is aimed specifically at software developers. It is a great place to sharpen those hard tech skills. There is a great range of topics, including many programming languages, databases, security, performance, machine learning and management.
We are excited to have ACCU members both in attendance and among speakers. If you want to be part of this learning adventure, get tickets to the event of your choice at confoo.ca or follow @confooca on Twitter for updates.
